On the Frame

Rabbit, Rabbit. It is the 1st of March. I am hoping for spring to come soon. The weather here in Kentucky over the past two weeks has been much like what I thought I had left behind in Michigan. Come on sunny weather and warm temps!

Here is what I have on the frame right now:

This is the 2013 Designer Mystery BOM (from Fat Quarter Shop - it's time to sign up for the next one). The fabrics are from the Avalon collection at Fig Tree & Co. Like all of my other tops, this one has been languishing, waiting to be quilted. I am doing a piano key border treatment with some feathered swags. I should have taken a photo before I advanced the quilt, but I forgot. I don't want to back it up for the sake of a picture because I am afraid I will get a pucker in the backing. I haven't decided about the inner borders or blocks yet. Thinking, thinking.

I was very fortunate to win this set of QCR Sidekick rulers from Jenny at Sew Kind of Wonderful. I absolutely love her style of quilting and have several projects in the queue that I plan to use these rulers on. Like this one. Thank you so much, Jenny.

These rulers are perfect for making the swags. It is easy to sew parallel quarter inch lines.
